Description
RUPTURE
Rupture, when considered an 'acting' force of change to something constant, an interruption occurs. When the 'rupted' first appears as such, the 'changed' establishes its complete origin and end. Thus, the 'pre-rupted' has the same knowledge, meaning and importance to that what is (or will be) changed. If we reverse the spatial relation between the 'changed' and the 'pre-rupted', the linearity of the action becoming thought is interrupted via metonymy by intermitted spaces in Time. This metonymy is what alerts change of its changing whilst remaining pure to the origin and end at all moments of rupting. In other words, if we 'freeze frame' a change through (and acting in) Time, what we comprehend is space in relation to what is and what will be. The metonymized object.
